4-H Summer Forestry Projects
Longview
Fibre Company Projects:
Tree
Farm Project: Participants
tour regional tree farms with Longview Fibre Company foresters
learning about various tree species, how tree growth is measured,
forest management practices, and product harvesting
techniques. The tours include the observation of helicopter, "high
line", and tractor logging operations on Longview
Fibre properties.
Winton
Mill Project: Participants
learn about the operation of a "zero waste" lumber
mill. This small log mill processes small diameter logs
and materials that historically have been left on the forest
floor after logging operations were completed. Due to technological
advances these materials are now fully utilized reducing
waste and fire load hazards in the forest. Mill operations
employ the use of computer technology for sorting, measurement
and processing of lumber products. The byproducts and waste
generated through the production process are utilized for
firing lumber drying kilns and generating electricity.
